Gwacheon hair salon men's signature perm with softer curl: One & Only

I'd been thinking for a while that I wanted to change up my hairstyle a bit. I'm not usually the type to try bold styles, so I tend to pick something familiar whenever I get my hair done. This time, though, I wanted a bit of a different vibe, so I decided to try a signature perm.

At first I did wonder whether it would even suit me. Since it was a different feel from my usual perms, I worried it might look too styled, or that I wouldn't get the natural look I wanted. Still, rather than keep doing the same hairstyle over and over, I decided this was the time for a change and went in.

Where is One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station?

The One & Only Hair I visited is on the basement level of an officetel building on Byeoryangsangga 1-ro, near Gwacheon Government Complex Station, so it was easy to find. Location matters to me when picking a salon, and if you're looking for a place near Gwacheon Government Complex Station, accessibility is worth checking too. Honestly, when I choose a salon, I care less about whether it's famous and more about whether the consultation is thorough and whether they really understand the style I want.

Before the service this time too, we talked through my hair condition, how I usually style it, and what feel I wanted, and shaped the style from there.

Men's signature perm: what the consultation decided

Before doing the signature perm at One & Only Hair Gwacheon Government Complex Station, we set the direction through consultation rather than a fixed style. I didn't go in with a specific style already in mind. I just wanted something not too flat, with a bit more presence than usual, and the designer worked out the style while considering my face shape and current hair condition.

For men's hair especially, even a small change in curl seems to shift the whole impression quite a bit. Too strong and it can feel like a lot; too weak and it barely reads as a perm at all. This time that balance was adjusted through consultation, which let me relax and trust the process a bit more.

When I looked in the mirror after the service, it came out much more natural than I expected, and I was satisfied. Best of all, even though it was my first time trying this style, it didn't feel awkward at all — it felt like it really suited my hair.

How natural did the signature perm turn out?

What I liked most this time was that even with a change from my usual look, it didn't feel like too much. I'd actually worried a bit that a perm would be hard to manage, but since the curl went in naturally, I liked how my hair actually held its shape once styled.

Styling my hair in the mornings was more fun than before, too. In the past I'd just dry my hair and roughly tidy it up, but now that there's a perm in it, simply setting the direction changes the whole overall vibe.

Thinking about a men's perm in Gwacheon?

If you're looking into men's hair in Gwacheon, or want a bit of a change from your usual style, I'd recommend first thinking about your own hair texture and how you normally style it, then having a thorough consultation with the designer. Like me, you might hesitate at first about trying something new, but once you find the right direction through consultation, it's much easier to go for it. The result this time — trying the signature perm — turned out more natural and suited me better than I expected. Very satisfied!

Contrary to my worries about trying a style for the first time, I liked the shape and enjoyed being able to give off a different vibe than usual — a pretty satisfying change for me personally. Next time I cut or perm my hair, I'd like to try some variations building on this style. This experience has made me want to stop sticking to only familiar styles and try something new every once in a while.
